ng Qianqian is resting peacefully at the mansion as she nurtures her pregnancy, and unwittingly June cos to an end.
Sumr in the Capital City remains hot. Treasure Piggy’s little tiger cub’s clothes have changed from winter to thin sumr styles, and eventually, even the cool cloaks couldn’t be worn anymore, leaving him to play in the courtyard wearing a small bellyband.
Nanny Wan prepared a big basin for him, with lotus flowers and leaves inside, and even raised so pretty little fish.
She then made a small net for him.
The little lad squats on the ground catching fish, laughing gleefully, and the whole courtyard is filled with his soft giggles.
Lady Du is chopping vegetables in the small kitchen, her face full of smiles.
Nanny Wan and Nanny Hu seem more energetic as they work.
Nanny Li has once again beco busy, handing the large and small affairs of the mansion back to Steward Cen, insisting it’s all for making clothes for Treasure Piggy and attending to ng Qianqian’s postnatal confinent.
Cui Hu, who happened to pass by and overheard, was quite bewildered: "The Young Madam is only three months pregnant, isn’t it a bit exaggerated to be considering confinent?"
Steward Cen: "Yes, yes."
Cui Hu: "..."
Nanny Li made so adorably cute small bellybands for Treasure Piggy, and stitched two pairs of palm-sized tiny straw shoes, embedding them with crisp little bells.
Walking around, he resembles a jingling little wind chi.
The little wind chi caught a big fish and dashed over to ng Qianqian: "Mom, big fish."
ng Qianqian lay on the wicker chair, feeling the cool breeze passing through the corridor, stroking the little one’s head affectionately: "Well done."
Treasure Piggy licked his lips: "Braised."
ng Qianqian: "..."
Lu Yuan left the mansion early in the morning, returning only in the afternoon, looking rather dusty.
ng Qianqian understood and called Tan’er over to have her take the little one to play.
"I’m not going."
Treasure Piggy refused, flopping over ng Qianqian’s legs, "Play with Mom."
Tan’er picked him up in one go: "You must play with !"
"No!"
"You must!"
"I don’t want to, I don’t want to!"
"You must, you must!"
"You’re cheating!"
"I’m not, don’t say silly things."
Amidst the noisy squabble, Treasure Piggy was carried away by Tan’er, looking resigned.
Lu Yuan found a stool next to ng Qianqian and sat down.
ng Qianqian gently fanned herself with an embroidered round fan, glanced at him, and softly asked: "What’s the matter?"
Lu Yuan replied: "Loulan’s envoy is coming, they will arrive at the Capital City in these few days?"
"Oh?"
ng Qianqian used a tone of curiosity, but in truth, she wasn’t too surprised.
From the mont Amushan died in You State, she had anticipated such a day would co.
"Who is coming?"
She asked.
"The Loulan Queen."
Lu Yuan summarized succinctly.
Others would accompany her, but she was the one they needed to be most cautious of.
Regarding this Loulan Queen, ng Qianqian had heard so things.
Amushan was her second son.
She was not the birth mother of her brother Chen Long, nor the beauty who initially caused the Loulan King’s rift with his first wife.
She was the Princess of the Wusun Tribe among the Ten Great Tribes.
Her brother was the newly appointed Wusun King.
The charming woman that the forr Loulan Queen couldn’t defeat ended up being vanquished by her; even the renowned Loulan King held her in high esteem.
After falling gravely ill, the Loulan King didn’t let his sons govern, but rather let her handle the state affairs.
She was a woman like an eagle, a legend among the Ten Great Tribes.
"She actually ca to the Central Plains herself, is she here to avenge her son?"
Lu Yuan glanced at ng Qianqian: "You seem not to be worried at all; instead, you appear sowhat expectant?"
ng Qianqian smiled: "A woman like an eagle, well, I indeed wish to et her at least once."
